Magic Kingdom in the Sky

[thewall2k]

So I am absolutely swamped at work, and with no podcast to listen to this week I turned on Pandora to have something to listen to and turned on the Rockapella station. A song came on that sounded like hymn, and I tuned out a little until I heard the words Space Mountain.

The song is "Kingdom in the Sky" by Da Vinci's Notebook, and it is available for .99 on itunes and I wanted to share the lyrics with all of you.

All my life I have been seaching
For the fabled promised land
With my sisters and my brothers
We shall walk there hand in hand
Through the trials and tribulations
And the Devil's cruel temptations
I know that we will all get there one day (one day)

After years and years of wandering,
Oh the kingdom we shall find (find the kingdom)
And the doors may not be open
But we'll gather in the line
And our hearts will swell with pride
The day those gates swing open wide
And we take a walk down Main Street U.S.A.

Oh that Magic Kingdom in the sky (in the sky)
We will all be there together by and by
We will all drink from the fountain
And go ridin' on Space Mountain
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the sky (in the sky)

Where Mother Minnie, Father Dopey,
And Saint Tinkerbell abide
There'll be no more cares or sorrows
On that heavn'ly teacup ride
I will lay down all my fears
When I put on those big black ears
And join the choir to sing in harmony

We will sing the songs of endless souls
Who once had gone astray
Who were lost but now are found
In the Electric Light Parade
Singin' Hakuna Matata
Growin' Mouseketeer stigmata
In the only club that's made for you and me.

Oh that Magic Kingdom in the sky (in the sky)
We will all be there together by and by (by and by)
All God's children shall be free in
Pirates of the Caribbean
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the sky (in the sky)

Oh the meekest and the poorest
Their inheritance shall see
And a zillion Japanese tourists
All will join the jamboree
They will ride that Holy Monorail
Into sweet Providence
When they learn that their redeemer
Is a mouse in short red pants (Nice pants)

Won't you take me to Orlando
Where the sun is shining bright?
All the angels are clean shaven
And the people snowy white
Where your problems are all hidden
And unhappiness forbidden
You'll find salvation for a modest fee

Climb into my Winnebago
And if you help with the gas
Then we maybe can finagle you
A five or six day pass
May your afterlife be blessed
Just American Express it
Let Mastercard and Visa set you free

Oh that Magic Kingdom in the sky (in the sky)
We will all be there together by and by (by and by)
All religions may be practiced there
Except for Southern Baptist
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the sky

Oh that Magic Kingdom in the sky (in the sky)
Manufactured by that uncle Walter guy
We'll give thanks to that old geezer
And we'll keep him in the freezer
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the
Reach the Magic Kingdom in the
Reach that Magic Kingdom in the sky
Sky- one, two- sky- two- high- two- high (we'll redo that ending)

I will lay down all my fears
When I put on those big black ears


OK, that's great writing, as is

Singin' Hakuna Matata
Growin' Mouseketeer stigmata

Not sure about all the people being snowy white, though. I get the reference, but it looks strange in print.

Yeah that line bothered me a bit to, but the rest of the song is great. Definetely worth the 99 cents.

This is one of the songs I have down to play at my funeral. Love it!

 

[Stacy's a freak]

I love this one and play it often! I think it's great that it sort of celebrates AND makes fun of WDW. Very up my alley

I had never heard that song until I got it in my fish extender on PCC 1. (Thanks Froggy)
